Marmalady's Blog: April 2008
http://marmalady1.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 16 April 2008. On checking my emails at bedtime last night, I had a Google-alert to this fantastic cartoon image! I love the picture and as I had just finished making 40 lb of marmalade it felt very apt! It often feels like I am collecting all the jam-jars in the world (I certainly have a garage-full and frequently find bags of them left in my front porch! On poking around the site, it turns out that the artist is another Etsian : http:/ inkfingersutter.etsy.com/. Links to this post. I have al...

Marmalady's Blog: Making Whoopie!!
http://marmalady1.blogspot.com/2010/04/making-whoopie.html
Saturday, 17 April 2010. According to the newspapers and TV, the craze for cupcakes is over. No longer will people be eating these very pretty to look at but often over-sweet confections. So, you may ask, how should I satisfy those cakey cravings? The answer is - the whoopie pie! Despite its name, the whoopie is not a pie - no pastry is involved at all. It consists of two cakey-biscuity rounds, sandwiched together with buttercream. As I was on the lookout for new items to add to my Farmer's Market Stall.

Marmalady's Blog: December 2009
http://marmalady1.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, 31 December 2009. My poor neglected blog. I havent blogged since February! How do I sum up 10 months in a a few minutes? The most important change to our lives has been the redundancy/retirement of Peter. He had not been enjoying the travelling over to the office near the airport, so when his team of 4 had to be reduced he volunteered to take redundancy. At nearly 60 he did not expect to find another job near to home (and hasn't actually been looking all that hard! My mother's youngest sister, ...

Marmalady's Blog: Mrs Beeton
http://marmalady1.blogspot.com/2010/01/mrs-beeton.html
Sunday, 3 January 2010. One of my Christmas presents was an early edition of Mrs Beeton's Family Cookery. This is a fascinating read, as it gives an insight into the daily life and meals of the average income family pre-First World War. The book assumes that the household has a cook and one maid, so the "Lady of the House" has some supervisory and hands-on duties concerned with the running of the house. One recipe that I cannot imagine anyone eating with relish is this idea for left-over sprouts:.

Marmalady's Blog: De-cluttering
http://marmalady1.blogspot.com/2009/02/de-cluttering.html
Sunday, 22 February 2009. Clutter abounds in our house and time has come (others would say is way over-due) that action must be taken! According I took a table at the Girls Brigade Table-top sale yeserday.Unfortunately, although I did make some sales, the majority of the takings were from marmalade and cakes. And what space was liberated was more than taken up by the boxes of railway magazines that somehow made their way into the house from a railway exhibition! A small start, but a start non the less!

Wednesday, 24 December 2008. It was Christmas Eve and all through the house. It is absolute chaos! After a busy December for Markets and on Etsy (there's a lot of people getting fudge for Christmas this year! I still have a lot to do before tomorrow! So why am I sat here? Presents all bought (I hope! Still to be done - in no particular order:. Dining room to tidy and vacuum. Best table cloth to iron. Best china and cutlery to sort out and clean if necessary. Alternative christmas pudding to make.

Marmalady's Blog: November 2008

Saturday, 22 November 2008. Prosopagnosia - an almost unpronouncable word for a condition that makes every day life very difficult for its sufferers. A more descriptive term is "face-blindness" - the inability to recognise faces - in extreme cases even those of your nearest and dearest. There is no cure, just coping strategies that vary in effectiveness. He has also written more about his condition on his website here: http:/ www.barryw.net/me/pa/prosopagnosia.html.

Thursday, 21 August 2008. I am pleased with the results and will be making more of these - particularly the flower one in different colours. Links to this post. Friday, 1 August 2008. This morning there was a partial eclispe of the sun. I managed to find the eclipse glasses that we bought a few years ago when we saw the total eclipse in Cornwall, so I was all set to look at the eclipse without danger of damaging my eyes.
